welfare vs wages

[Danzig]

let's put this another way.

mcdonalds makes billions in profits.

i don't. i don't even make millions, not even tens of thousands in profit.

mcdonalds shouldn't have to pay a living wage.

i should be happy subsidizing their employees by paying taxes that fund food stamps, housing assistance, medicaid, etc?

really?

i vehemently disagree.

but that is the current system. people defend billionaires and their pay scales.
i guess this is the same mindset that says let's pay farmers not to grow crops, and then wonder how to feed the hungry.
